Making unwise choices should not be probable cause for arrest and confinement under a $1,000,000 bond.
This “Yeah, but....” strain of the discussion is most troublesome. When the rules start getting bent, they will eventually break. And when they break down they break for everyone.
And a h/t to Texas Fossil for bringing the 9th Amendment into the discussion.

Unwise choices should not be cause for arrest but often is. Get caught at an illegal establishment and everyone is arrested. Live in a crack house or with an armed felon and bad things may happen and yo may find yourself under suspicion. Many of these so called innocents want to appear bad or intimidating, some one just accepted them as they wished to be perceived. I’m saying you cannot be surprised that such a thing would happen. I’ve never understood why someone need to appear a faux villain (aka biker gang member) to support the troops.
Yes, it is guilt by association but think of this, all these people who thought Obamma was something special should have realized that nothing special can emerge from that cesspool of Chicago politics. That is guilt by association. Yes, there is a chance there is a virgin in the whore house, but it is slim.
Waco has smelled like a Fed Driven event from the beginning. The DA in Waco a few years ago had 1/2 million dollars in his asset forfeiture account. He apparently is running it like a business.

Now can we connect the dots?
Intelligence report from DOJ on biker crimes listing “criminal clubs”.
Waco DA who already practices Asset Forfeiture on grand scale. Has 2 prosecutors for that.
I think there is a BATF office in or near Waco. (if my memory is correct)
Waco Police has reputation for wanting to be cowboy law enforcement.
Prior violence in North TX by Banditos.
Published mass gathering locally of bikers (rich target of assets to confiscate)
And remember a conviction is not necessarily involved with asset forfeiture.
Motive to approach the case as RICO. (Fed law enforcement method)
